It’s like Vim, you learn it once, and you keep using it forever once you’re used to it.

I’m so thankful to see a flake.nix file in every single cool project on code forges.

Yea that's a common theme of excuses for both Rust and Nix. Wrong though, because most anyone who can use a computer at all can learn the basics of Vim.

Seeing that flake.nix badge of complexity lets me know a project will be a nightmare to set up and will break every other week. It's usually right next to the Cargo.toml badge with 400 dependencies underneath.
